Erik ten Hag's Manchester United secured a second win of pre-season, by beating Melbourne Victory 4-1 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, in front of around ...

Still, it shows we have plenty of options for rotation in the forward positions, with Erik commenting in his Thursday press conference that he feels Donny van de Beek could also occupy an attacking midfield – and perhaps even a false no.9 – role. The Ivorian stood out when fielded there in the Liverpool clash, as he set up Facundo Pellistri’s goal – our fourth of the game – but Marcus soon swapped with him, latching on to Eric Bailly's through ball to score our third. The signing of the 35-year-old former United winger has been headline news in Australia all week and even though he’d only travelled Down Under earlier this week and trained twice with his new team-mates, Nani – who stopped to grab a quick word with MUTV before kick-off – was named on the Victory bench. Eight of the 10 replacements had also played in Bangkok, but for Ethan Laird and Tahith Chong, it was a chance to get some minutes in the legs and time on the pitch for United after spending much of the recent time out on loan. For the second friendly in a row, Erik opted to change his entire outfield line-up at the break, with Rashford captaining a younger and more inexperienced side in the second half. The Reds were behind for much of the first half, following a shock early Victory opener, but a couple of goals before half-time from Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial put us in the driving seat.

Manchester United and Barcelona have now agreed a fee for the transfer of Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong, according to Jacque Talbot.

A fee for de Jong had seemingly been agreed between the same two clubs at the end of June, but the move didn’t progress further over the coming weeks, with the Manchester club sending chief executive Richard Arnold and football director John Murtough to Barcelona to try and conclude the deal this week. The move for de Jong had previously been thought to have stalled between the two clubs, due to outstanding monies owed to the Dutchman by the La Liga club, amongst a multitude of other reasons.

The move comes just over a year after Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020. He is a player that Ten Hag knows well from his time at Ajax, and there a number of other stars with ties to the Eredivisie giants that the Dutch tactician has his eye on. While struggling to tempt a right-back to Old Trafford, Ten Hag has completed the signing of Tyrell Malacia, with the highly-rated 22-year left-back having completed his switch from Feyenoord.

I think it's going to be a really cool experience being out there. "I think I've always done a pretty good job of just treating every round the same. So I have to try my best out there to be really patient, with the pace of play, and with the golf course as well." "But I just stayed patient and holed some really nice putts.

Manchester United come from behind to beat A League outfit Melbourne Victory 4-1 as they maintained their 100% start to pre-season.

It's up to him." The Dutchman looked stern as he stood on his own on the touchline watching his new charges struggle to break down a side at the beginning of their own pre-season preparations and who were prepared to sit deep. Jadon Sancho played on the right of the attack in the first-half and Rashford on the left after the break.

He will provide United with a classy, versatile option in defence, competing for minutes with the likes of Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof at centre-back.

NOT EVERYONE will be happy to see Christian Eriksen arrive at Old Trafford.

The arrival of Ten Hag at United was fantastic news for Donny van de Beek, who returned from his loan spell at Everton delighted to be reunited with his old Ajax boss. All three are currently out in Australia with United, trying to impress Ten Hag in training. The signing of Christian Eriksen provided Manchester United with a timely boost on Friday, but it is not good news for everyone at the club. With Bruno Fernandes also untouchable, his chances of getting a regular starting berth suddenly look slim. Announcing the signing, John Murtough, United’s football director, said: “Christian has been one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe throughout his career. Negotiations with Barcelona for top target Frenkie de Jong have stalled, leaving Tyrell Malacia as the only confirmed arrival before Eriksen’s.

MANCHESTER UNITED are hellbent on signing Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona in this summer's transfer window.

€85m is a large price, but at the same time it wasn’t so long ago that he was seen as one of the hottest prospects in European football. “Ten Hag needs to be able to get the players he wants. And whether United are able to bring in a midfielder, as the clock starts to tick, is something only time will tell. It will be fascinating to see if the Red Devils can get a deal over the line, with the saga starting to resemble the failed pursuit of Cesc Fabregas back in 2013. And De Jong has now dropped a hint he’ll be with his Barcelona team-mates for their upcoming pre-season tour of the United States. Manchester United agreed a fee with Barcelona for De Jong earlier in the week, with the Red Devils prepared to pay an initial £63million to land their No 1 target.

Did you know former Man Utd and France goalkeeper Fabien Barthez is now a professional motor racing driver?

Barthez’s Instagram is packed full of pictures of racing cars, images of him in helmet and overalls. Di Canio was not put off, and slotted in the only goal of the game. I had to wait until the end of my pro career to try it.

His club career was littered with the highest honours too.
